PORTRAIT OF COLONEL CHARLES CLIFTON by EUGENE E. SPEICHER 
President of The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, 1918-1928 


(Presented to the Permanent Collections of The Buffalo Fine Arts 
Academy, 1924, by the Board of Directors.) 


EXPLANATORY NOTE 


(Colonel Clifton gave to The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy 
by direct gifts of works of art, by gift of moneys which 
were to be spent in principal, and moneys which were to 
be set up as an endowment for a picture fund.) 


ITH the purchase in 1924 of the marble by Edward 
W McCartan, entitled “The Kiss,” a Special Sculp- 
ture Fund was instituted by Colonel Clifton to 
the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars. The prin- 
cipal of this fund was to be and has been used for the 
purpose of developing interest in the acquisition of 


sculpture. 


As it is a rule of the Academy that one fund cannot 
borrow from another, in the purchase of more expensive 
works of art it was often found that the income from 
various funds was insufficient to negotiate such pur- 
chases. This was the case in the purchase of the Gilbert 
Stuart Portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel Manigault, and 
the Abbott Thayer “Boy and Angel.” In both instances, 
the deficit was met by contributions from Colonel Charles 
Clifton. 


In 1919, the Charles Clifton Fund was established by 
his gift of the sum of one hundred thousand dollars in 
securities, the income from which was to be used for the 
purchase of pictures. By means of this income the 
Academy has been and will be enabled to add to its col- 


lections periodically.
